Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution would impeach Secretary of Defense Peter B. Hegseth for high crimes and misdemeanors and send six articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial. The articles charge that he directed armed hostilities against Iran without approval from Congress and put service members at risk. They also charge violations of the law of armed conflict, mishandling of sensitive military information on the Signal app, and withholding information from Congress. The remaining articles charge abuse of power, politicizing the armed forces, and actions affecting women, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color in the military. Each article states that he should be tried and removed from office.
